UB40 Featuring Chrissie Hynde - I Got You Babe (Official Music Video)

Music video by UB40 Featuring Chrissie Hynde performing I Got You Babe (2002 Digital Remaster) (Feat. Chrissie Hynde).
For all things UB40: linktr.ee/ub40...
They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know babe if that's true
'Cause you got me and baby I got you
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you, to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And when I get scared you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you and I won't let go
I got you to love me so

Chrissie Hynde. One of the most underrated singers. Love this version.

[@aracelisotomayor825]

I think the same way. I love her music and her outfit. i dreamed of dressing like her. I only managed to wear a tie and vest ☺️

[@computerager]

Agreed. This is a favourite of mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnmZo5hphaiDaac

You know you're embracing musical genius, when you can watch a video from the past, and still get goose bumps and a smile wrapped around your face!

[@jaimesk1688]

The smile....yes.

[@Obsesivcriticconstructivjust]

Best Reggae,bravo, felicitări, congrats, i am speechless 👌❤️😘👌👌

[@murihiku]

What a brilliant concept for a music video: first half rehearsal, second half performance--it makes the viewer feel welcomed into the experience of being in the band. I loved it in 1985 and I love it now. So much joy!

[@luiseduardovargastoscano599]

Now imagine that for a soundtest y lighttest fan like me. Despite the low sound clarity, love this video and i can't avoid to watch it more than once each time i play it.

[@scottcheely7553]

How can you not love this version of this song?

[@lizzy6898]

these guys ddnt care about makeup or a big production set as long as they made good music it was all good , thank you guys!

[@labourdan]

Elizabeth Mandem The opening of the song was a rehearsal

[@lizzy6898]

yes

[@tlking19771]

jmw yes but even after rehearsal they didn't really care...they just jammed out! Music at its finest!

[@lizzy6898]

U B 40 , best reggae group band ever and ever , nice song ft Chrissi Hyndi

[@jacquelineford7539]

I idolised Chrissie Hynde when I was Young, I was given The Pretenders Record for My 14th Birthday. It was My most Coveted, Gift. Then along came UB40, and made this Mine, and My Son's Father's Song. So many Precious Memories, in the Sun, Singing this Song, Xfinity. 🌊💙

"Mom, I have a gig to play trumpet in a reggae festival, what i should wear?" "What about only a pair of tiny white shorts and slippers?" "Neat!"

[@thetruth1733]

One of the greatest and most underrated groups. I was born in 85 but grew up loving them and still do

[@estoote]

I bought this UB40 guest-starring Chrissie Hynde song on vinyl in 1980-something. Unfortunately I always felt the studio recording lacked a little of the magic of the performance in this video. It's so cool to find it again! I wouldn't call the song "underrated," though -- it was a smash #1 for Sonny and Cher in 1965!

[@MichelleHeath-y8h]

Love this song ❤and red wine

[@kaleylumby]

My husband - 12 years ago when you asked me out I never thought we would still be one with 4 of our own gorgeous creations. We grew into adults together, got into trouble together and have each other's backs no matter what. I never wanted to get married, you changed my perspective on that. So many people say how they wish they had a relationship like ours. It reminds me of how lucky I am to not only have a husband but a best friend and an awesome dad for my babies. My family is yours and not everyone can say that. We had our first dance to this song on our wedding night and there is no other song in the world that sums us up better. 12 years my hun and nothings changed I GOT YOU BABE and I always will

[@SwaggerChiick1]

KJ Erceg-Lumby wow that's amazing! hats off to you and your union with your husband. I hope one day I too can say those words. I don't wanna get married either and really can't see myself doing such. I hope one day I can find love like you did!

[@kaleylumby]

Thank you :)

[@shaahiin]

KJ Erceg-Lumby Wish your family a great life :) just liked your comment and the way you expressed your feelings to your beloved one.

[@kaleylumby]

Thank you. Life is far too short not to express my feelings to the ones I love not only via social media but face to face aswell :)

[@kinderegguk]

KJ Erceg-Lumby 13 years here coming on 14 not married but I feel perhaps stronger now than I felt on day one, hes the kindest most loyal and sweetest man on gods green planet.....hes still exciting and funny...its hard to say just how much he means to me ..Im sure he can put it in to words just how much he means to himself...yet he still puts me first
